THE CONTEST IN RHODE ISLAND.


Rhode Island elects State officers carly in
April. Three tickets are in the field, Repub-
ican. Democratic and Prohibition. The State
officers now in service are Republican and have
all been rcnominated. The contest is clothed
with unusual interest, owing to the fact that
the Democrats in their forlom efforts 20 con-
duct a winning canvass have the assistance OF
The Providence Journal" backslidcr from
the Republican faith and Of a small but select
company of Mugwumps who look to it as
their leader
In another column THE TRIBUNE prints
cogont letter from Providence correspondent
in regard to the situation in Rhode Island.
This letter shows that "The Journals" at

State is without excuse. Governor Wctmore,
whom it is vanly attempting to defeat, has
been faithful and efficient public servant.
lie was placed in denomination by absolutely
fair means. The convention was composed Of
upright delegates. and from first to last there
was nothing in its proceedings that rendered it
amcnable TO criticism. Tho chairman of the
Republican Committee. who ought to be good

vcntion and clcancst set Of delegates ever as

character alike of the nominee and the con-

They lack substance. IL is good campaign
for the Republicans Of Rhode Island TO show
their mcttlc. Let them do their best from
now TO election day, let them be united and
aggressive and untirng and they will win in
spite Of foes without and foes within. Some
bolts make votes for the party against which
they are directed. They are effective only in
rccol. The one under consideration may turn
out to be Of that sort.

thing, they declared, but it should be applied
TO the whole State. In other words Ncw-fork
and Brooklyn mrst be deprived Of good
thing the rural counties can also have II.
It must have puzzled these Democrats TO
recognize themselves after such arguments.
Every one of them has introduced numerous
special bills affecting this city, and II it were
not for this special legislation they could not
afford to pay, as Chamberlain Wins says they
do, IN election expenses. from ten to twenty
times the amount they receive in salary. Dir.
Crosby was right in saying that if we were
left to the rule Of the liquor dealers it would
be necessary for good men to get out OF the
city. lie is entitled to credit for the part he
has taken in seeking to lessen that kind of
rule.

Gladstone was the champion OF Coe-cion.
Crime was then rapidly increasingi the re-
sources of remedial legislation had not been
exhausted by English statesmen and the
Government did not despair OF reconciling the
island to an alien civilization. How different
is the tone of the Tory bench to-day from that
of the Liberal bench In 1881, when Coercion
was resolutely and confidently proposed! MI
Balfour refers almost hopelessly to the Land,
Tenant and Purchase bills about to be brought
IN. He knows that they will fail to sat
isfy the Irish people and that Coercion
will be fought as desperately as it was before.

POLICY THAT HIS E1TLED.

The Salisbury Government naturally justifes
its plea for a new Coercion bill by citations
from Mr. GladstOne's speeches delivered in 1881.
Mr.. For ster then made use of the same argu-
ments which Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Balfour now
employ; and the Liberal leader cOntended.
precisely as they now affirm, that restoration
of the supremacy of law must precede remedial
legislation. "The position of the Government
now" exclaims the Tory leader of the Com
mons, "is the same as that OF Mr. Glad
stones Government then" The practi-
cal answer to this argument is very sim
pie. Lord BeacOnsfeld once vindicated his
reputation for consistency by the jaunty
remark "A good deal has happened since
then" Mr.. Gladstone can in like manner refer
to the collapse of two elaborate and well-exe-
cuted schemes of coercion as having an I'M
portant bearing upon the question. He has
witnessed the complete failure Of the legisla
ton which he advocated six years ago. That
failure justlfies his own opposition to the enact
ment of similar laws at present. There was
MIR. FOrster's plan of breaking down the politi-
cal power of the Land League by the arrest of
suspects on large scale and there was MIR.
Trevelyan's plan Of securing the conviction

extraordinary expedients. Each scheme for its
own special purpose was successful, for the
Land League was suppressed and criminals
were punished; but both were miserable tail
ures as a permanent means of recOnciling Ire
land TO English rule. Coercion in 1885 was so
unmistakable a blunder that Lord Salisbury
himself did not ask for the renewal of the act
when it expired by limitation.
How fatuous then. is the course of the Tory
Government in reviving agencies which have
proved unavailing within five years There is
less crime IN Ireland to-day than there was
when Mr.. Forster introduced his Coercion Act.
The injustice of the existing law. more
over has been proclaimed by the COwper Com
mission, and the necessity for radical reforms
and for the expulsion of the landbolding class is
freely admitted on the Government side. There
was a very different state Of affairs when MIR.
